Shunning animal foods can lead to inadequate intake of essential nutrients uniquely found in them, such as creatine, carnitine, choline, carnosine, taurine, anserine, vitamin K2, vitamin B12, and specific peptides. — Whalespan

“because we know very clearly that there are many nutrients found only in animal foods because these foods have been the center of our evolution for our entirety i am talking about creatine carnitine choline carnosine taurine anserine vitamin k2 vitamin b12 peptides uniquely found in this”

I've been recommending this to patients for 6 months now. The big shift is patients actually do it because the explanation is concrete.

Tracking with a CGM on top of this for 3 months. Variability dropped quickly and stayed dropped.

Worth noting the 0.71 SMD in the Kreider meta is in trained athletes. Effect in untrained adults runs closer to 0.3 — still meaningful, but the panel should reflect that gradient.

Good catch. Could the brief surface the training-status interaction inline?
“the vegan diet is not optimal for human health because it lacks so many of the nutrients that are found in animal Foods creatine carnitine choline is answering taurine vitamin K2 B12 riboflavin you need these nutrients to thrive as a human”
“there are so many nutrients that are not available on a plant-based diet that you must obtain from animal meat and organs um or that are really only sparsely available on a plant-based diet this leads to massive deficiencies in humans and we know this very clearly things like creatine carnitine choline aning toine B12 K2 riboflavin the list goes on and on it B12 it's a huge list”
